Benzo dependency can creep up without you knowing. Be 100% honest with your doctor. Return the benzos if you think you won't be able to use them as prescribed.
I have been totally honest with him. I admitted my beer drinking, and as a matter of fact, I am not even taking as much benzos as prescribed. Not abusing them, yet can't stop them. I am awaiting his reply to my private message. Thanks for the input...
